Claim

OpenAI's Navier-Stokes announcement carried a disclaimer that the team cannot rule out that other teams' work was incorporated into the training of the model used to solve the problem.

Supported

Score: 0.9823 under ledger-default@0.3.0 at snapshot 27745

3 of 4 review checks done · 3 counted

4 independent evidence lineages · review checks 3 of 4 · stability HIGH

Main unresolved issue: 9 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:c15d1a20-8195-848e-846d-a72f0491ac36

Not yet independently audited.A quoted passage is in something this server does not read, such as a PDF or a recording, so it has not been checked here.

Why?

Strongest counted support: BBC/Reuters quotes OpenAI saying it could not rule out de-identified product-use data helping improve its models. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt says OpenAI could not rule out other teams’ work being incorporated into the model’s training.; Wissner-Gross says OpenAI included a disclaimer about possible incorporation of other teams' work in model training.

Review gaps: independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.

How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + 4.014000 (the counted weights) = 4.014000 → probability 0.9823

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.9432 to 0.9946, a spread of 0.0514.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.
